What does a Chicago Daley machine politician raised and mentored by Marxists, Muslims and Racial Separatists care about America and it's veterans?

I’m worried this is another case of sleight of hand... We need to be vigilant. Just like they’re raising a big stink over the AIG bonuses so we won’t ask questions about all the BILLIONS of our tax dollars AIG has doled out to foreign countries...
Obama and his minions are like magicians - directing our attention one way while they do what they don’t want us to see with the other hand.
I’m also wondering if they are not doing this on purpose to try to evoke a response... I personally think that’s the point with a lot of this. Just keep hammering away till they tick someone off enough to do something radical, and then use that as an excuse to push even more down our throats.
Obama has asked people to go knock on their neighbors’ doors this weekend and ask them to support the budget. Knowing how livid some people are right now I wonder if Obama is HOPING for altercations that he can paint us with...

“what was it thinking?”
Hmm. Obama = “it”. True...
“It” was thinking, Is can do anything I wants to do bcos these crazy crackers are all tripped out on how sweet I am.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that the intent of the plan had been to "maximize the resources available for veterans." Egad. That's about as serious of a case of doublethink as I have ever seen from an administration --- it's right down in HCI territory.

IT is anti American and IT is anti Military and IT has a leader that is aligned with al qaeda and bin laden.

It was a calculated political move designed to fail, but also to highlight veteran's care in the public's mind. This stunt will give rise to the slogan "National Health Care - what's good enough for our Veterans should be good enough for all Americans".
These Chicago guys are getting too predictable.

Obamarama did it because, like Clinton, he has no regard for the troops. In his mind “public service” is community activism, protest rallies, government paper-pushing jobs, social work. Soldiers are just neanderthals who want to kill innocents and play with explosives. It’s their own fault they got hurt, because they put themselves in that situation. He doesn’t care about them.

I have a friend who thinks that it’s part of a plan to hollow out the military by making Guard/Reserve so unpalatble to people that they quit joining.

Leftists can’t figure out why people enlist so they’ll continue to poke and annoy us to see what makes us tick.

He was thinking that he could get away with it.
When he got caught he caved.
He’s try again later when it isn’t as noticeable.

What better way to provide some financial underpinning for Cadillac medical coverage for those on the dole than to charge our courageous veterans for their service connected disabilities. Has he gone insane!?

If we made the President, his Cabinent and Congress all go out and get private health care out of their own pocket books I think we can probably achieve the same savings. What do you think, Barry?

I wouldn’t put it past ‘em. This is probably Plan B for saving that all important $540M (which is likely slated for ACORN).

Bingo. Although I think even the rabid Leftists in Congress are smart enough to avoid this. Al Franken excepted (if he ever gets seated).
